All quiet on Transfer front

Aside from Cole transfer, things seem to have gone quiet. Pile of powder in corner still dry

No doubt someone will come along and piss on it...

In fairness £15 million spent isn't really powder being kept dry. It's total mismanagement of the situation. Small squad to start with, 9 players gone and only two (plus one on a 4 month loan) brought in, despite players going on frees in positions we need to strengthen.

Yes we spent 15 million but we got about 6.5 in through transfers out plus we have saved quite a fair whack in wages from Shearer, Bowyer, Boum, Faye and Elliott leaving.

 

I think once the books have been balanced out our actual spend this summer has been very minimal, just further highlights the appointment of Souness and the financial backing from Shepherd has got us into.

 

On a similar note to the cutting back this year, its looking increasingly like everyones concerns of Roeder getting the job as a cheap option are probably true too.
